Ingredients
1.5 cups quinoa (dry)1/2 cup coconut milk (mine had 60 calories per 4T) 1/2 cup water1t vanilla1/2 cup raisins1/2 cup chopped walnutscinnamon, to taste2T honey or agave (optional, included in calories)6 drops stevia (optional; with or in place of honey)1/2 cup milk (I used unsweetened original almond milk, 40 calories per cup)extra water
Place two cups of dry quinoa into a bowl. Add water to double the height of the quinoa. Allow to soak at least 4 hours or overnight.
Rinse off quinoa and put it in a pot with the rest of your ingredients. Turn your stove to high and allow the mixture to boil.
Turn the heat to low, cover, and let cook for 10 minutes. If the liquid is absorbed you can eat this as-is. At this point the quinoa will be soft yet "pop" in your mouth.
I like to think of this recipe more like rice pudding; the longer you cook it, the better you get. Add milk or milk-alternative. Continue to simmer over medium-low heat, adding water until it is absorbed and desired texture is reached.
Serve with fruit mixed in or with a smoothie on the side.
This could be made in your slow cooker the night before! Keep on a low setting. Liquid should be double the amount of quinoa (3 cups for this recipe).
